Ok. I regret not stopping sooner, but I had to make sure that it was in fact the drug causing the spike. I don’t want to give up too hastily on something that could’ve really helped me.

I have tinnitus from acoustic trauma (musician) which I’ve had for at least two years. Recently my doctor prescribed me Wellbutrin to help manage my ADHD (which I’ve had since always, but never got on treatment until I became concerned it was inhibiting my ability to drive safely). I did 150...

Sure, what address should I send it to?

I’ve done that too, can hear all the way up to 16kHz, which is within normal range for my age (25). Also, my more bothersome tone is 500Hz, which is pretty low. My OAE definitely went to at least 12k but I don’t have the graph in front of me.

My hearing is perfectly normal according to an OAE. The only real indications of damage are T and decrease in LDLs. So either I damaged hair cells that weren’t tested, or I damaged something else, such as synapses. I think the latter is more likely since I’m pretty sure I have an abnormal...

It’s been in development for over 20 years from what I understand. These things take time. But the more time they spend getting it right, the more likely it is to provide results. I would think think that if it really didn’t show substantial promise, they wouldn’t have wasted all that time...

Agreed. I was speaking with regards to the hypothetical situation that it did work.

That’s why they’re having a bigger trial.

It seems this guy was only using magnetic stimulation without the audio component, which as I understand isn’t any better than audio without physical stimulation. Also, Shore’s device uses electric pulses rather than magnetism. I wouldn’t be too worried yet.

If it’s what the device is worth, it’s what it’s worth. There is high demand for this device and if it works as advertised, no real substitute. I think it’s important that people have access to it, but I also think that the creators should get royalties for their hard work. GoFundMe is just...

Saving? Selling? Asking for help? GoFundMes? Better job? Better healthcare plan?

This device has been 20 years in the making and provides relief for a condition which previously had next to none. I think that price would be fair for the hypothetical gain. If you’re truly suffering and the device really provides significant relief, I think you’d find a way to get the cash.

1 and a half years until they’re done with trials??? Dang, I did not realize it was so far along the pipeline. Really feeling good about this.

Doesn’t have any noticeable effect for me. But it seems like having the ability to modulate manually at all implies that the device could work for me. Clearly, my T is not caused by something in my auditory system that’s “dead” or I wouldn’t be able to manipulate it.

Noise-induced T here. The only thing that I’ve found that significantly reduces my volume is the “Reddit trick” (put hands over ears and flick the base of your skull with your fingers). That actually has made it go away almost completely for a few seconds in the recent past. Not sure if...
